Franconia Minerals Now Listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX)

Ticker Symbol FRA, Unchanged

SPOKANE, WASHINGTON--(Marketwire - Nov. 19, 2007) - Franconia Minerals Corporation (TSX:FRA)(formerly TSX VENTURE:FRA) is pleased to announce that its common stock began trading today on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Franconia's shares will continue to trade under the symbol FRA. However, since the shares will be delisted from the TSX-Venture Exchange and depending on the stock quote service used, investors may need to change the exchange identifier used to locate the Company.

Brian Gavin, President and CEO, said, "This new listing marks another important milestone in our development as it exposes us to a far wider investor marketplace and reflects the fact that our assets are substantial. Now that we are trading on a senior exchange, we will have greater visibility, more investors will be able to participate in our shares, and we expect to see greater liquidity to the benefit of all of our shareholders as we continue to develop our key base metals and platinum group metals properties in the continental U.S."
